LAND, a Cleveland-headquartered startup electric vehicle maker, began U.S. production of 120 units of the District E Moto this month. The District is a two-wheeled E Moto, a transitional vehicle that functions as an e-bike, e-moped, and e-motorcycle through a ride mode select interface, with a top speed of 65 mph.

The District offers four modes:

1. Electric Bike – Class 2 – 27 MPH Limit

2. E Moped – Limit differs by state

3. Motorcycle (Autonomy x Power)

4. Motorcycle 65 MPH (Power)

District First Edition

Powered by a single hot-swappable 1.8kWh CORE battery with an optional second battery for an 80-mile range, the District is manufactured using innovative processes such as laser cutting and CNC sheet bending, which reduce production time while improving quality and durability. All E Motos are manufactured and shipped from LAND’s headquarters in Cleveland.

The removable battery system can be charged in a standard household outlet and functions as a stand-alone power supply to charge devices; it can also serve as a small-scale home backup system. With optional solar charging, LAND aims to gain traction in the new mobile power market.

Founder and CEO Scott Colosimo was inspired to dive into the electric vehicle industry after his success as the founder of Cleveland CycleWerks, a motorcycle design and manufacturing company.

The District is unique in the EV space in that it bridges the gap between two markets: the e-bike and the e-motorcycle. The four riding modes accommodate a wide range of experiences and comfort levels, and the removable battery platform allows the rider to power up and stay connected on the go. We are excited to enter production in the United States and look forward to shipping our first orders.
